WHEN ART AND LIFE TOTALLY COLLIDE ON YOUR PALATE AND IT MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE A GOLDEN GOD DRINKING GOLDEN GOD WATER


the wife and i watched ALMOST FAMOUS last night. i like that film. it moves the ol' hamster here in the ticker-box and the tear-ducts. it makes me simultaneously want to jump off rooftops and land in the past, while also being very grateful that i survived pubescence the first time around. (i did have cancer during pubescence, so, you know, that wasn't a totally dramatic statement there.) so, yeah, fun film that ALMOST FAMOUS. i highly recommend it.

so what does this film have to do with beer? nothing really, except that during a few of the party scenes i realized that the actors in the film were sipping bottles of schlitz while i was, at that very moment in real life, sipping cans of schlitz in my living room scene. it was, like, whoa-man! i mean, i was totally drinking a schiltz and all these dudes in the film were totally drinking schlitz, and right then and there, i like knew: we could totally party. me and stillwater - we could party with some schlitz! 

seriously, i love me some two-hearted ale as much as the baker and more than prescription, but how often do you sip two-hearted and see the actors in the film you are watching grab up some two-hearted AT THE EXACT SAME MOMENT? especially a film set in 1973? seriously, i'm thinking about becoming a rock-n-roll god. get your tickets early, people. i feel good things on this hamsterian horizon.

see you on tour, piz-unks!

  1. all this bickering about 2 hearted makes me want to drink a couple of them...just to make sure.

  2. yeah hops, are you sure you weren't drinking something else? The first time I had two-hearted I was quoting an Aly and Aj song, "...like whoa whoa, whoa whoa..."
    I think the song is titled, "Like Whoa".

  3. i was like whoa when i first tried it, but then i tried like a bunch of other ipa's, and i was like whoa, these are even better...i guess one of my biggest complaints is how thirsty it makes me...that might make me sound like a panzy, but i don't like to be parched after drinking a glass of liquid...or maybe i just enjoy this devil's advocate role...or maybe i just like putting 3 periods after things i say to make it look like i am thinking...

  4. prescription - it's fine line. you need just enough periods, but not too many. you're safe. you injected five sets of ellipses. at that rate, you look like a greek philosopher. one more set and you'll look like a twitter addict. i'm proud of the man you've become.

  5. I'm confused... has 2-Hearted Ale really been around since the early 70's, or was this a mess-up on the part of the director? Or am I simply mis-reading the post? If there's really a 2 Hearted Ale in the movie, I'll probably watch it for that reason alone!

  6. but see, sir scott, that was the beauty of the whole bit: i was drinking a beer that's been around since noah stepped off the ark, and thus they were drinking it in the '70s. i was saying that you will never see folks sipping 2 HEARTED in a film set in the '70s because they didn't have 2 HEARTED then. but they did have schiltz, so be prepared to see folks schlitz in '70s set films. whoosh!
